  • Smoke some pot.

  • @howdyhoyo Because of our history across the Atlantic Slave Trade. Africans pack together on horrible ship conditions led our ancestors to this condition because of chronic stress and other health factors, and as a result it passed on to most African-Americans today. When environmental factors contribute to genetic factors its produces a gene-environment interaction.

  • Love this video, so informative. High blood pressure is such a silent killer

  • Went to the ER feeling real bad BP was 166/110 felt like I was going to have a stroke I hate this!

  • @bloodpressureandmore Not only alcohol, smoking and caffeine should also be avoided since they increase hypertension.

  • Have been feeling shit lately so i dug up my old blood pressure meter, and it turned out that i suffer now from high blood pressure. My readings before taking an aspirin were 176/96 and after were 148/98. My father in law had his blood pressure up in 280 but then he suffered a stroke.

  • Is High Blood Pressure another bogus terminology??

  • @cvoque Ok, whatever you say...

  • @TheManiNicole chronic stress surely can increase the mutation rate and contribute to e.g. cancer. It is however extremely unlikely to directly influence the genes of the offspring in the manner that the phenotype would mimic the effect of the original condition.

  • @cvoque Go to school. you'll learn about it.

  • @TheManiNicole This is a total nonsense. Your DNA won't change during your whole life, no matter what conditions you are subject to.

  • If you want to live a long and happy life, and you have problems with your blood pressure – avoid alcohol.
